In 2012, the City applied and successfully was awarded $760,500 (90% of the estimated project costs) from Caltrans under the federal Highway Safety Improvement Program, with the balance coming from local matching funds. The design was completed in 2015 and the City is awaiting Caltrans authorization prior to starting construction. Caltrans is expected to authorize by December 2015, allowing the City to advertise the project in January 2016. Construction is expected to take approximately 6 months.
